EncFS MP is a reliable application that enables you to create a secure location in which to store sensitive information, on your computer or on a removable drive. The software allows you to create, mount or edit encrypted file systems, that you can easily manage as long as the application is running. EncFS MP allows you to easily create and encrypt file systems, using a series of methods or encryption levels.

The software allows you to choose from amongst three complete configuration options: the standard one, the paranoia and the expert. The first two methods are fixed and do not support modifications. The access to the EncFS MP folder is restricted by the password, which you need to remember. Moreover, you need administrative rights in order to mount the folder, which might require that you restart the application in admin mode. However, once mounted, the file system can be accessed with the password and the files may be opened freely.
